[Elecraft] Panadapter Symmetry Question

Doug,

I have two K3s and two SDR-IQs and don't see this on either.  How wide are you 
sweeping?  Across a 190 kHz band there is a little difference probably 
attributable to filtering in the K3, but it's really minor and more-or-less 
symmetrical.  I usually use 50 kHz in the menu and then sweep only 20 or 30 kHz.

> Hi, I have been noticing that on my P3 and on an SDR IQ hooked to the iF output of either of two K3's,  that there is a small difference in level from one side of zero beat to the other. The noise is about five db higher on the high frequency side than on the lower side. Same on two different K3's, both with upgraded PLL's. I know it is minor, but I am using the K3 as a back end for my EME station and the higher noise tends to cover some signals.  Anyone else noticed it? Any fixes or adjustments?   JPEG available.    Thanks, Doug K6JEY
